Undefined symbol: .gl_signbitd on Solaris 8 i386 and 2 of 117 tests failed

[Dennis Clarke]

This has been reported before :

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2008-04/msg00075.html

The same error occurs on Solaris 8 i386 and is fixed with the same trivial
modification in lib/Makefile thus :

titan $ diff lib/Makefile         lib/Makefile.backup
